Giroud is a useful striker to have off the bench. If we don’t sell him now, however, we’ll never get value for him.

Frankly, were not winning anything big with Wenger staying so the more we can sell our older players and buy young talents the better. This will make the transition easier after Wenger finishes crashing the club into the ground over the next year or two.

Obviously we need a bonafide #9 but I’m not sure why some are clamouring for him to be sold, if anything he has demonstrated this season that he is more than an adequate back up.

My main grievance with Giroud has been him being the #1 option but that doesn’t seem to be the case any more and the team is all the better for it, where are you going to get a better back up without spending unnecessary money?

Unless he’s getting in the way of signing say Morata he doesn’t need to be shipped off, the likes of Ramsey on the other hand is a different matter entirely.
